#3 Nitish Rana

He is one of the most impressive youngsters in the Indian circuit and a consistent performer now in the IPL. Having made a switch to Kolkata from Mumbai last year, Rana has shown brilliant aggressive tactics under trying circumstances. He is equally adept at opening the innings or playing in the middle-order. Against SRH in the season-opener, he scored a 47-ball 68 at the top of the order, while he made a 34-ball 63 against KXIP batting at No.4.
